The Castle of Cagliostro
"gentleman thief and lovable bastard lupin iii briefly rescues a girl in a wedding dress from a car of armed goons. when she disappears again she leaves behind an ancient ring, linking her to the local nobility, which was famous for hiding a secret treasure. with the help of his partners in crime and a familiar femme fatale, lupin uncovers a dastardly plot, learns the secrets of castle cagliostro, and tries to find a way to give the girl her freedom.
cagliostro is one of hayao miyazaki's earliest films, which he made after his work on the lupin iii tv series. since it isn't a ghibli film, it's lesser known among his fans, but that doesn't mean it doesn't deliver. it's unlike any other lupin media; truthfully, it feels like miyazaki's lupin fanfiction, but that's a good thing in my opinion. it blends the goofiness and action of lupin iii's original tone with miyazaki's signature wistfulness and love for pure-hearted heroes. and of course, it features beautiful animation, artwork, and music familiar to lupin and miyazaki fans alike. it's truly a hidden gem in the world of animation!"
It was one of Hayao Miyazaki's first films, and its so underrated; the animation is gorgeous and fluid, the characters are fun, and the story is a great adventure mystery
Pokemon: The Movie 2000
It’s my favorite Pokémon movie (mainly for nostalgia reasons) but it’s got a banging soundtrack and a great sense of humor! Plus the scene of Team Rocket working with Ash and co. always makes me smile
this is going to sound like such a little sibling ass take but i genuinely believe that being a little bit annoying is actually a greater sign of maturity and self awareness than being universally likeable and on good terms with everyone
